Hello Friends,

 

I have different Heat Transfer Coeffienct H on the different faces of my Element. But for convection I have to define Material Properties. But I have diffrent H (Heat Transfer Coefficient). I Need to define different material, only for H; Other Properties should be same. but how can I define different materials under the same Element.

 

Thank you in Advance.....

    Here, I have attached my Profile, make sure it is example Element: in which my right side face has diffent Heat Transfer coefficient and Left side has different.

     

    So I have to have 2 different Materials, Because H is inside the material section.
